The one doing the job, deserves the money. When you clean and boost the selling process you are just making the sell faster and may be a couple bucks which will never pay your working time. Larry is cleaning (doing his main job basically ) and finding cars that are way bellow their market value so the profit he makes can actually pay part of his work, but he also is creating content for us and memories for himself. He also will never have a problem with selling a car since he have so much fans and “influence”.
This is one of my favourite Mercedes-Benz models ever! The W140 - with the W124 and W201 - chassis were the last of a dying breed of over-engineered vehicles. This specific model, the S600 V12, was the higher-end of this chassis, so all the best available at that time was through in. I am very glad to see you preserve a unit of this amazing car! I cleaned many times my father's W201, and I remember loving seeing a clean rim - which was pretty much similar to those ones you cleaned. Cheers Larry!
Remember the center rear view mirror is power adjustable, don’t try moving it by hand. Also those engine writing harnesses are extremely fragile if they weren’t replaced with the updated revised harness. They were biodegradable on their insulation. Super awesome car!
Yeh engine cleaning usually means water gets where it shouldnt and Corrosion. Looks good sure, until you have to replace a spark plug and realise water penetrated and corroded the threads.

I worked at a carwash in 1997 and had a customer with this same car. It was a beast! I loved diving it, even though it was only a few meters at less than 10 mph. The car was immaculate! 😃👍
This and the Lexus LS 400 were dream cars of mine. I’m in my mid 40’s and growing in private schools, these things both were pinnacles. Get job Larry. Sincerely appreciate the content. Best to you and the shop. Keep them coming. Man that two tone black and grey hit so hard.
This car turned into a freaking mirror. Ive watched so many videos and my gosh it never fails to satisfy! I watch a lot of renovations in all forma, jewelry, old electronics, homes, woodwork, vehicles, planes; you name it; but compared to AMMO i have never seen so much dedication and pure talent and effort put into renewing anything! Keep it up please, this is my daily therapy!
Crazy to think there's a generation of engineers at Mercedes whose life work was building that car Nicely done Larry! Also thanks for all the "will it starts" to these videos, it really wraps up the transformations well
I’ve had a 3k mile black IS-F in storage for many years. I got one of those instagram famous detailers to come in about a year ago to give it some love. It looked exactly like this Mercedes did the day after he left. The buffer trails were absolutely insane.
I can’t help but be amazed at the work that Larry accomplished here. Reminds me of when I was stuck on a freeway near San Antonio and Larry pushed me and the car all the way to a gas station. Incredible as always Larry!
Thanks for your videos been watching for years. I now detail on the side for extra money when someone needs their vehicle done. There's so much pleasure seeing someone's face light up and tell you the car looks better now than when they bought it. 🙏
This was an incredible turnaround for this beautiful car Larry. The before and after is absolutely incredible on this car! A very rare car indeed the V12 model of this car could go from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds not to mention the incredible luxury feel of this car. Mercedes has always done in right when it comes to luxury automobiles this is a very good one Larry I love it.
Even the original brabus if i am ot wrong with 7.3l enhine never made 4.6sec to 100 kmh ahaha its not fast car had one lucky day going slightly down hill maybe around 8sec...its heavy as f**k
Mercedes black paint is one of the nicest before-after transformations you will see. I had one detailed a few years ago and the paint blew me away in person.
That’s one of those things that separates pros from armatures out in the field. I used to do mobile detailing and you wouldn’t believe the difference it makes. Especially on big aftermarket wheels where you can see it easily. Customers knew you did your best if you did that. That, and streak free glass and cleaning visor mirrors. Customers noticed and outs you a step above. Like exhaust tips. Hell I can go on and on lol.
Many years ago I watched a wash vid by Drive and saw comments about Larry. The years it wasn't a trend to clean cars. I saw a passionate man with no bs. I supported and kept following until I ran into Guru. Wow, 2 unmatched car detailers. I used to wash fam cars only, ended getting a moto and I dont really have to deal with cars but I do something see the videos that have me speechless. This guy cleans even the under area, treats the car so unalloyed. Keep it up brother 💪
I picked up a 1992 600SEL/S600 in a nearly identical scenario. It had sat in a garage for 5 years when the owner got sick, eventually he passed and the family put the car up for sale. It was in pretty good condition and needed some work to get it running but nothing crazy. It's currently running well but having transmission problems.
Great job as always Larry and team. The W140 Benz will always be one of my favorites. Rock solid, great looks, comfy interior and the ride was incredible on the highway.
You are amazing. I watched the entire episode with some kind of joy. It is also very important to revive a classic like the S600 because they don't make car like that anymore. Thanks again.
This Mercedes it's alive !!!!! No words the 50/50 Great job Larry 👌 As always Sorry for my English 😢 I want to improve it and learn detail with your advice , I'm detailing, but no like you , you are so great you are pro That's why I like your videos Thanks Larry 👍
incredible how well built these old mercedes are, the quality of that leather and the paint is amazing, it immediately become back new after just cleaning i
There is nothing more satisfying for me than polishing or seeing really badly swirled and oxidised paint being polished. It still looks and feels like total pure magic to me.
I very much appreciate the job you have done on that beautiful W140. One question came up though: Doesn't the foam and water mixtures affect the electronics around the engine and the inside?
Wash working on the W140 is the best feeling ever. Time runs so fast, and you’re never done. There’s so many of those little inches to cover, and more you do, the more you feel something else could be done to keep it neat! Good job Larry!
The W140 was my first Mercedes, and still my favorite S class. While my brand new W223 is technologically incredible, the build quality is nowhere near the marvel that was the W140 25 years ago
Larry have you ever applied these polishing techniques to motorbike panels / paint? ive got very light swirling on my 16 year old Ninja 636 and wondered if this would work on it but have no idea if motorbike paint is lacquered in the same way or the depth of paint.. would be interested to know what approach you think is best for it?
You know how Larry loves his craft. He still learns every single day but is very humble. Seeing detailing UA-camrs watching him for technique and tips, you know he got the skills to back it up without saying. Nice video, as always!
Rare for me to comment despite how much I love your videos...But this car. To me, its the perfect car. absolutely love it. Thank you for bring it back to life.
Learned a new trick today from Larry in this video... my takeaway is that red plastic razor blade. So cool. I'll be adding that to my tool kit shortly!
These videos will always be my favorite detailing videos, you are incredibly thorough and in the process of being so explain why you do what you are doing. Always love it.
What a beautiful Benz! I really appreciate people like you who take pride in preserving automotive history like this. Without you in the equation this may have gotten a $200 detail and been in a scrapyard a year from now. Awesome job!
I have loved the W140 body style since they came out in 1992. You did a phenomenal job of bringing one of the best vehicles back to life! Always enjoy your videos!
There's just something therapeutic about your videos. Cathartic. Sometimes what I'm feeling like people suck, which happens to be more often lately, I gravitate towards your videos. That end all of these animal rescue videos. They restore my faith and humanity. So thanks. Where do I send the check?
I love undercarriage cleanings. I only drive a 12 year old Mazda 3, but a detail to the level of something like Larry can achieve is something I've always wanted! Just something about knowing that even the shocks and wheel wells and all that are clean, too...
My sister got a brand new 2022 Nissan Sentra (black) and when she brought it home the paint was destroyed. So many swirls, scratches, and the hood has so many holograms. It was insane and I spent over 6 hours detailing it came out really good.
My grandmother owned on of those but it had the V8 and not the V12 Gorgeous car and she had me detail it every time I came to visit her in Dallas. Sadly she had to sell it due to seeking her home and stuff since she had to move in with my uncle.
Great job Larry. I'm disabled and my car has swirls in the paint and I can't physically remove them but then again I don't need a show car just one that's reliable lol. Sending best wishes from myself in the UK. Stay safe
It’s relatively easy to pull the dash top panel off of those cars, and then the duct vents pop right out, if I remember correctly. Those ducts definitely need to be vacuumed from deep within, even make an adapter hose to reach where needed. But there is no doubt some nefarious debris deep within those ducts. Even if it’s mold which hasn’t been treated, it needs removal or neutralization.
How could anyone find a man who cleans your car and sells it right away in the process? Amazing job as always!👍🏻

"instagram famous detailers" There's your problem right there
I always admire Larry’s ability to know exactly how far to go, not trying to bring the S600 to a like new look. Such great experience.
I can’t help but be amazed at the work that Larry accomplished here. Reminds me of when I was stuck on a freeway near San Antonio and Larry pushed me and the car all the way to a gas station. Incredible as always Larry!
Omg, the difference, before and after. Especially after the polishing. Amazing work, Larry!!
I heard one of these things went past me just today, the V12 sounds amazing
These cars never get old. You make me smile today ☺️
Something about seeing older cars looking super clean is so satisfying. Great job with this one, AMMO :)
Thanks for your videos been watching for years. I now detail on the side for extra money when someone needs their vehicle done. There's so much pleasure seeing someone's face light up and tell you the car looks better now than when they bought it. 🙏
Lovely to see a Mercedes here again. Thank you Larry!
Yesss my favorite posts are modern classics and daily driver paint corrections
This is definitely my new favorite video in the "first wash in...." series. This car looks amazing after the detail!

Awesome to see a w140. Also a short wheel base s600 is very rare. I had a Japanese import one. Almost all sold in the US were long wheel base.
